Pours a nice orange color with a small soapy white head. Aroma of hops, citrus and malt along with a little pine. Taste is hops, malt, pine, and finishes bitter but sweet. Well balanced IPA with a slightly Syrupy mouthfeel. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

Bottle. Pine and floral aromas. Copper body with decent head. Decent citrus flavors along with some sugary sweet sapy feel to it. Some dryness on the palate along with bitterness. Good brew.

Ordered from South Bay. Yet another excellent, hoppy, floral West Coast IPA that costs us sorry ass Midwesterners a little more than California natives to buy. Such is the price for good beer. We’ll survive. We wont’ get to drink it as much, we’ll spend a little more to drink it, but we’ll enjoy it just as much. Damn good IPA.

In short: A well balanced IPA. Foresty with fruity notes. Tasty and refreshing.
How: Bottle 12oz, probably very fresh (consumed 2 days after receiving it from cloudyskipper). Thanks a lot Chris for this kick-ass IPA I didn’t even know existed
The look: Clear dark golden body with a medium beige head
In long: Strong nose of pine-cone juice and some orange. This is a crisp IPA. Caramel and honey perfectly balanced by a rather nice hop profile. Conifer branches and pine-cone juice upfront backed up by tangerines and orange peels. Sharp bitterness, long finish. One of the two few tasty American IPAs that do not try too hard to go over the top. As tasty as it is refreshing. I never thought I would ever have respect for the Union Jack but here we go, God save the Queen… that f***in bitch.

bright orange gold color with a small dense pale yellow head. Strong fragrance of american hops: citrus, grapefruit, floral, resiny...a little bit of everything. Medium light body. Strong hop flavor (obviously) with citrus fruits dominating. good and strong but not well balanced.

This one is awesome... terrible and boring looks and label. But what a great beer. Clear golden with a white head and hints of lacings. Bitter with a strong hoppiness. Very nice hopsprofile. Fruity bitterness of hops. Very good beer.
